Sorry folks believe you are more moral or compassionate than God but the fact remains.
Since the abolition of the death sentence crime has risen in this country.
The states that have the penalty also have imposed laws that allow for prisoners to have extensive time to appeal.
It is meant as a deterrent but the lowering of the crimes has allowed more crime that does not fall under the death sentence e.g. rape.
Which is also a violation of God's word.

Could you share any NT references that instruct us to do so?
We have OT references to stone adulterers but we don't stone adulterers.
There are many instructions to exact punishments in the OT that were not repeated in the NT and that we no longer fulfill.
